I am a golang and delve newbie. delve is amazing. Does/Will delve support hot swapping of changes or something similar like the java jvm? t takes me a lot of time to copy my code into docker's build vm, then build all the files, then build & deploy dlv, then copy all the binaries to the runtime docker container. I am looking to speed up my flow. So, I was wondering if hot swap will ever be supported? Thanks.

It isn't impossible but it requires extensive changes to the linker and so it probably won't happen anytime soon, if ever.
